How can I use refer to or use width and height of other object?

[Adul Kokapan]

I'm currently working on this code

var doc = app.activeDocument; 

var textRef1 = doc.textFrames.pointText([300,1000]);

textRef1.contents = "First para text \rFirst para text \rFirst para text \rFirst para text  \rFirst para text";

var textRef2 = doc.textFrames.pointText();

textRef2.contents = "Second para text"; 

The code is simple just to create point text or maybe rectangle or texframe below "textRef1". But I don't know how to get height and width value of "textRef1"

Later I will have to create rectangle background as well so I really have to know those value.

Can you please teach me how to do it?

Try this:

var doc = app.activeDocument; 
var textRef1 = doc.textFrames.pointText([300,-300]);
textRef1.contents = "First para text \rFirst para text \rFirst para text \rFirst para text  \rFirst para text";
var Rect = doc.pathItems.rectangle(textRef1.top, textRef1.left, textRef1.width, textRef1.height);
Rect.stroked = true;
Rect.filled = false;
Rect.move(textRef1, ElementPlacement.PLACEAFTER);

But be sure, there are differences between pointtext and areatext.

Have fun
